Great progress!
Wish I put a/c in mine.

I don't think your intake is gonna fit though?

Yea...we are going to have to make it fit somehow...funny thing is, a lot of the stuff we are doing now is going to need to be changed when the car is back in the shop after the cosmetic / suspension work, for more power. :down:

On a side note, it is my 1 year anniversary from my car crash....I guess its also my 1 year anniversary of my e30 project too :)

I get the same feeling every year, as if my Giants have lost the Superbowl...one of the most depressing moments the past 11 years....I've been watching this game since I was station at West Point as a kid and they are usually great games....hopefully, this year we'll "reverse the curse"

The curse has not been reversed :)

I cant see your picture. Its not loading. But what we are doing is making a custom intake manifold and doing a remote break booster set up.

People have gotten around the intake situation by mounting the motor tilted a little to make clearance, and some other sketchy set ups. I know people have posted about people moving the break booster behind the driver side head light but we didn't want to do that.

We are not going to wire tuck the engine or anything, but we want the engine to look real clean.

UPDATE! (12/20/2013)
Hey boys and girls, its been almost a month since the last update. We ran into a problem with the intake manifold not fitting. So currently we are making a custom one. We also had to remove the brake booster and look for a remote booster set up. Finally one was acquired.

And before I forget, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!

UPDATE! (12/23/2013)
So we figured out a way to not make a completely custom intake manifold from scratch. All we had to do was modify the runners a little and cut some tabs.

Also, Happy Holidays Again!

i see you put in part of the booster...did you just remove the black canister?

[audiquattrot]

Unbelievable work! Everything looks like it belongs there and is properly fitted. Hats off to u

[Wanganstyle]

Is the pictured engine a mock up unit or actual?

I'd suggest having the shop fit the serpintine belt tensioner from 6 speed manaul supra; its a safety mechanism that dampens shock to the belt tensioner.

We put in a remote brake booster
